Cynthia Villar today said the firm commitment to good governance that will pave the way for the deliv-ery of fresh investments and job opportunities would be the best gift government can give its workers on Labor Day.

Philippine Veterans Bank and the Philippine Daily Inquirer are once again in-viting high school students from all over the country to get their creative writing juices flowing as they launch the 2013 World War II True Stories Writing Contest. Similar to its previous incarnations, the unique narrative-writing contest aims to recover stories about the personal experiences of men and women who served during World War II as well as those Filipinos who survived through those har-rowing years. These stories should be told through the survivors’ own recounting. Students joining the writ-ing contest should have interviewed, researched, read about and understood the subject, and developed their own narratives which should be no more than 2,000 words including im-portant details and quotes from the interview. For this year, prizes at stake for the top three win-ning entrants include an Ap-

addition, five additional stories will be chosen as consolation prize winners whereby their authors will be receiving an iPod shuffle each. Deadline of nar-ratives and accompanying

materials must be received by March 15, 2013. Entries may be submitted to any of the 60 branches of Veterans Bank nationwide or they may be sent to the following address:

WITh JUST 13 days to go before the May elections, the public needs to do wise decision-making when they cast their ballots.

During the First Friday Affair of Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) last April 26, Fr. Carmelo Diola, executive director of DILAAB Foundation, gave a talk on the value of conscience formation dur-ing polls.

“We have to deal with the roots of the problem. We need to deal with the original sin of graft and

corruption,” Diola shared during his presentation.

Dilaab is a volunteer-driven, Church-based move-ment for a transformed Filipino nation through heroic Christian citizenship.

Diola cited two kinds of perspectives during elec-tions––the candidates and the voters. he said that some candidates want to win at all costs. They see elections as an investment and public service as a business.

From the voters’ per-spectives, the mass see it as a gamble wherein they choose the candidate who

is popular. he noted the “lesser evil” mentality of many voters.

“The missing link is the mechanism or the process of forming the practical con-science. It can be achieved by offering options, a call to a beyond-the-usual engage-ment of the Church and a call to be a pastoral com-panion among the public,” he shared.

“The first level of accom-paniment is to let ourselves be accompanied with Jesus. It is not the end of the world because there is hope. You are not alone because there

is faith,” he added. he said that pastoral

companionship is a ref-uge, a sanctuary or a space where people are alongside a journey towards integrity for the common good. It is also trust-related, growing in a journey of faith, hope, and love that involves dis-cipline and special skills.

In choosing our future leaders this coming elec-tion, he said that the Laser test is a helpful tool in the selection process. Laser test (lifestyle, supporters, elec-tion conduct, reputation) guides the public’s

ZAMBOANGA City––Four gunmen aboard two mo-torcycles shot to death a soldier and injured another in broad daylight Sunday in Lamitan City, Basilan province, a police official said Monday.

Killed was Cpl. Richard Jamin and wounded was PFC Joelito Sanchez, both intelligence operatives of the 32nd Infantry Battalion, according to Lamitan City police commander Chief Insp. Almer Ismael.

Ismael said the incident took place around 12:30 p.m. Sunday along the Isabela-Lamitan highway in Barangay Ubit, Lamitan.

Ismael said the victims were riding a motorcycle when the ambush happened.

Jamin died on the spot while Sanchez was admitted at the St. Peter hospital, he said.

Also on Sunday, a barangay kagawad was killed in this city in an attack that also injured her husband.

Chief Insp. Ricardo Garcia, commander of police station 2, identified the victims as Rosalinda Ladao, 44, a kagawad of Barangay Latuan, and her husband, Saturnino.

The couple was shot by motorcycle-riding assailants around 11:30 p.m. Sunday in Sitio Bitayan, Barangay Latuan, Garcia said.

he said the victims were aboard a motorcycle on the way home to Latuan from a political rally in nearby Barangay Curuan at the time of the attack.

Garcia, who ruled out politics as the motive of the incident, said they are looking into all other possible motives of the killing.

Ladao’s husband failed to recognize any of the gun-men since both were wearing full-face crash helmets, he said. (MindaNews)

BUTUAN CITY – The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in Caraga Region has organized a rapid media reaction team, in an effort to provide the public with uniform information during the 2013 mid-term elections on May 13, this year.

In a roundtable dis-cussion with PIA-Caraga personnel, Northern and Northeastern Mindanao Information Cluster head and concurrent Regional Director Abner M. Caga pointed out that the orga-nization of the team follows the concept of conducting

rapid response during di-sasters where convergence of national and local media is highlighted.

“Whenever there is a need for the team to im-mediately disseminate the necessary information to the public, the PIA will lead the media team members from gathering the facts, writing the news, and air it,” Director Caga said.

he further explained, each media outfit in the city can join the team, with one representative to have equal access to information.

The media representa-tive must be a permanent

“he of she must be non-partisan to avoid biases,” Caga pointed out even as he stressed that this effort of PIA-Caraga is the first of its kind, having gathered all the media outfits in the city in promoting unity among themselves.

This, aside from instill-ing into the minds of the media practitioners the value of disseminating rel-evant information, he stated.

DECEPTION | page 11

Cris Diaz

MORE than 100 countries would celebrate May 1 as the international Labour Day. The celebration is to honor the hands that “carve” the stones on Earth into lasting monuments of humankind’s triumphs.

There is no appropriate reference that would detail the history of Labor Day celebrations. however, there were recorded events that would validate that Labor Day first celebrated 100 years ago in New York. That New York labor’s day commemoration organized by the Central Labor Union on Sept. 5, 1882 remains the official Labor Day celebration in the United States today.

Russia observed May 1 as labor’s day celebration following the triumphed of the workers. The Russian called the May 1 as the “Day of the International Soli-darity of Workers.” May 1 also represents the 100 years “class struggle” of workers in Russia from 1890-1990. The Russian celebration of the May 1 as the “Day of International Solidarity of Workers” was changed to “spring and Labor Day” in 1992 when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) became a Commonwealth of Independent States.

The Russian celebration of May 1 as Labor Day attracted some 80 countries around the world (these countries from Europe to Middle East and Asia celebrate May 1 as their official Labor Day, too. All the countries celebrating May 1 as Labor Day approved the legislations

to make the day an official holiday. The Philippines celebrated May 1 as official Labor Day, too.

In most countries, workers marched in the streets to demand for higher wages, benefits, and better working conditions on Labor Day on May 1. Workers in Russia parade to the streets to demonstrate the workers’ class struggle until 1990. The event, however, dramatically changed when the USSR became a Commonwealth of Independent States in 1992. Most Russian workers spent the Labor Day as their rest day. Some Russian workers go home to the provinces where they engaged themselves in gardening or having picnic with their families.

Of course, despite the advancement of modern technology and computers, workers are still the prime movers of the country’s economy. This is especially so in developing countries like the Philippines. The labor sector in the country remains a potent force. The work-ing class in the Philippines remains one of the most underpaid sectors. While the government justifies that the workers in the Philippines are among the highest paid in Asia – certainly in figures. however, with a minimum wage of P269.00 per day, the amount could barely make both ends meet for a family of five. What about those who wittingly violate the minimum wage law?

If the government’s labor department would follow Pres. Benigno S. Aquino, III “Tuwid na Daan” policy, the country would go bankrupt. Yes, there are insinu-ations that more than half of the country’s business establishments would fold up if the labor department would wage no nonsense drive against minimum wage violators.

Why celebrates Labor Day?

ThE investment pyramid concept provides an effec-tive overview of all invest-ment instruments available at your disposal, with par-ticular emphasis to their overall profiles in terms of risk, return, and liquidity considerations.

Revisiting the invest-ment pyramid, we get a glimpse of the importance of keeping a balanced in-vestment portfolio. having foundational investment strategies that preserve your capital keeps your pyramid in a stable state. A pyramid with a firm and stable base gives you a better foothold to grab incidental opportuni-ties offered by higher-yield, higher-risk investments in the upper levels without having to sacrifice your financial stability.

Comfortably positioned in the middle of the invest-ment pyramid, managed funds give you a balanced risk, return, and liquidity leverage. But do managed funds such as mutual funds offer you any additional

DECEPTION, beguilement, deceit, bluff, mystification and subterfuge are acts to propagate beliefs that are not true, or not the whole truth (as in half-truths or omission).

Deception can involve dissimu-lation, propaganda, and sleight of hand, as well as distraction, cam-ouflage, or concealment. There is also self-deception, as in bad faith.

Deception is a major relational transgression that often leads to feelings of betrayal and distrust between relational partners.

Deception violates relational rules and is considered to be a negative violation of expectations. Most people expect friends, relational partners, and even strangers to be truthful most of the time.

If people expected most conversations to be un-truthful, talking and communicating with others would

advantage? here are a few of the more important ones to begin with.

Managed funds are liquid – there is easy recovery of your cash should the need arise. You also get the ad-vantage of instant diversifi-cation. In contrast to direct stock investing, with equity funds you get to purchase a basket of stocks with the same invested amount. This provides you the unique setup of indirectly managing and spreading your levels of exposure to investment risk.

Since your individual resources are pooled with that of several other in-vestors, you harness the collective investing power and strength of the entire group. Thus, a managed

fund strategy can take you directly to the securities markets, which is usually available only to a few select investors with large invest-ible funds.

With certain mutual fund companies allowing you an investment account opening with as little as PhP5,000, this strategy can even be affordable to individuals in the lower income groups.

If you are that type of investor who doesn’t have enough luxury of time to actively track volatility is-sues in stock trading, then managed funds might suit you better. With profes-sionally trained investment analysts and fund manag-ers doing the legwork in a dynamic market, you can

perhaps worry a little less and attend to other more pressing matters.

Furthermore, with prop-er regulations now in place, you can have more peace of mind. In the case of mutual fund companies which are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), these investments are now more transparent, have detailed prospectuses and disclosure proceedings, and with a custodian bank in place.

With a recently upgraded Philippine economy on the upswing, managed fund investing could be one of your greatest opportunities to ride the prosperity wave.

Investigate before you in-vest, and make your money work for you. Do it now!

Of deception and traditional politiciansrequire distraction and misdirection to acquire reliable information.

A significant amount of deception occurs between romantic and relational partners.

Pnoy’s irritation of parties other than his using the color yellow shows signs of insecurity and the confidence he maintains to be most popular. While the franchise for being a brat is not necessarily his in his family with this news article at the Manila Bulletin it portrays his absolute authority towards the people.

To secure my place, I have decided to stop wearing yellow colors all together. I wanted to retain my yellow briefs to secure the colors rightful location but one never knows if one gets incarcerated for owning the color.

Deception after all is what traditional politicians resort to. Look at the Presidential cousin who aspires to be senator by installing a complete make-over to look like his uncle Ninoy. Is this not deception possibly to the worst degree? Then there are the wanna-bee’s whose dynasties have reigned for decades whose parents

Mindanao lumads forge unity againstenvironmental plunderers, rights violators LIANGA, Surigao del Sur, Philippines––“Bisan pa man nga sige ta og rally sa pagpanalipod sa atong yutang kabilin ug militari-sasyon apan mas misamot man hinoon nga midaghan ang mga military sa kabuki-ran ug nagpadayon ang pag-pamatay sa atong kaubanan nga lumad. Unsa pa ang angayan natong buhaton? (Despite our protest actions against militarization and our continued defense for our ancestral lands, military operations have intensified and extrajudicial killings against our lumad brothers have continued. What else do we have to do?).”

This question raised by one of the delegates elicited reactions from the 300 par-ticipants who attended the second general assembly of Kalumaran, a federation of lumad organizations in Mindanao, held within the ancestral domain of the Manobo tribe in this town on April 19-20.

“Dili magmalampuson ang atong pakigbisog kung

dili kita molihok (We can-not win our struggle if we will not act),” challenged Jomorito Guaynon, from the higaonon tribe of Bukidnon province, during the as-sembly attended by Lumad elders, women, community leaders and children.

Dato Nilo of the Pulangi tribe from Bukidnon said letting fears overpower them is like abandoning the future generations.

“Maayo nga mamatay ko sa pakiggubat kaysa mamatay ko sa kagutom. Mas mosamot ang kalisod sa sunod nga henerasyon kung dili kita molihok (I

By GILbERT L. PACIFICAR, Contributor, DavaoToday.com

would rather die fighting for our rights than to die of hunger. The situation would become worse for the generations to come if we don’t act now).”

Their points were not baseless. For according to the reports gathered by Kalumaran, “military opera-tions have intensified and wreaked havoc to Lumad communities” in the dif-ferent regions of Mindanao.

In Southern Mindanao, for example, Norma Capuy-an, Kalumaran’s Vice-chair-person, said “militarization” is widespread with the two divisions, three brigades

and 18 battalions deployed by the AFP in the region.

Capuyan also alleged that government troops have served as private armies of large-scale mining com-panies and agri-business corporations and that the military has formed para-military groups and Bagani forces like the Task Force Gantangan in the prov-inces of South Cotabato, Sarangani, Davao del Sur and General Santos City.

“Contrary to the claim of AFP, there is no truth that Oplan Bayanihan brings peace and development to lumad communities. The massacre of the Capion family in Kiblawan, the death of Barangay Kagawad Cristina Jose in Baganga and the death of Fr. Pops Tentorio in Arakan Valley are the cases of extrajudicial killings perpetrated by the AFP,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Pasaka Regional confederation of Lumad in Southern Mind-anao, an affiliate of Kaluma-ran, lamented the existence

of large-scale mining and agri-business plantations that “resulted to the massive displacement of lumads and peasants.”

The group has docu-mented 110 mining compa-nies, both small-scale and large-scale, in the provinces of Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental. These com-panies are in the process of securing mining and tene-ment permits from Mines and Geoscience Bureau while others are already operating.

Pasaka said the en-croachment of mining company Russel Mining Company, one of the big-gest mining companies in the world, to the ancestral domain of the Mansaka tribe in Pantukan town, has “caused much damage to the environment.”

Thus, they reiterated their stand against the Min-ing Act of 1995.

“With this law, the lu-mads were given no right to their own ancestral lands. It’s a clear manifestation that

the Aquino administration, and even the past admin-istrations, has no heart for the lumads,” said Genasque Enriquez of Kahugpongan sa mga Lumad sa Caraga.

Enriquez said the four provinces of Caraga re-gion have been occupied by large-scale mining compa-nies which resulted to the displacement of livelihood of lumad communities and the destruction of natural resources.

As of year 2012, there are 35 mining companies listed in the Caraga region.

The group has instead pushed for the People’s Min-ing Bill, which according to Enriquez, is “for the com-mon good and within the framework of a nationally-industrialized Philippine mining industry.”

Meanwhile, Datu Mo-nico Cayog, Kalumaran chairperson, said “we should emulate the life of our lu-mad heroes who died in the struggle for defending the ancestral domain.”

n The group has documented 110 mining companies, both

small-scale and large-scale, in the provinces of Compostela Valley

and Davao Oriental. These compa-nies are in the process of securing

mining and tenement permits from Mines and Geoscience Bureau while

others are already operating.

MILF chair to candidates: ‘You can come and talk to our people’

By CAROLyN O. ARGUILLAS

DARAPANAN, Sultan Kudarat (Mindanews) -- The chair of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) said candidates running for lective posts on May 13 “can come and talk to our people” but the MILF stand has not changed: “we will not participate … but we will not prevent people to participate.” “If they want to vote, they can vote,” MILF chair Al haj Murad Ebrahim told a press conference at the launching Monday noon of the Facil-ity for Advisory Support for Transition Capacities (FASTRAC), a three-year program in partnership with the United Nations and the World Bank. Along the three-kilometer stretch from the highway to the Moro Islamic Lib-eration Front’s main gate,

posters of candidates lined the roadside, many of them posted on coconut trunks. There were no posters of national candidates (for senators), just regional (for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or ARMM) and local (for Maguindanao). Most of the posters were from the team of Datu Tucao Mastura and Ali Midtim-bang, candidates of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) for governor and vice governor of Maguindanao, and Mastura’s nephew, Vice Governor Ismael Mastura who is now running for provincial board member. The elder Mastura is mayor of Sultan Kudarat town where the MILF camp is based, Midtimbang is former Ta-layan mayor Mayor Mastura is a brother of MILF senior peace panel member Michael Mastura, father of Ismael. Posters of ARMM guber-natorial bet Pax Manguda-datu and his running mate Bashier Dimalaang Manalao were also visible. Mangudadatu, former governor of Sultan Kuda-rat province, is an uncle of incumbent Maguindanao governor Esmael Mangu-dadatu of the Liberal Party while Manalao is former governor of Lanao del Sur. A few posters of the first district congressional candi-dates – reelectionist Bai San-dra Sema (Liberal Party) and Baisendig Dilangalen (Ind), were also seen. Russman Sinsuat, Jr. who is running for provincial board member under the Liberal Party also had some campaign materi-als. There were no posters of reelectionist governor Mangudadatu and the ruling party’s candidate for ARMM governor, Mujiv hataman and his running mate, Al-rashid Lucman although hataman has reportedly been endorsed by both Mastura and Esmael Mangudadatu.

Both candidates for Ma-guindanao governor have repeatedly committed their support to the Framework Agreement on the Bangsam-oro which the government and MILF peace panels signed on October 15, 2012. “ T he M I L F h a s not changed its official policy of non-involvement in the ongoing electoral process,” Murad said, adding this has been “the policy of the MILF since the very beginning.” “We will not participate in the electoral process but then we will not also prevent the people to participate.” Murad clarified that ‘it is only the MILF officials who are prevented from partici-pating (in the elections). “Now at this point in time you’d notice that when you enter Camp Darapanan, you will notice there are so many posters of candidates (along)

the route. This is not a viola-tion of the policy. We do not see it as a violation of the policy. We do not see also as a violation of the policy for candidates to come and talk to our people because as I have said, we are not preventing them. If they want to vote, they can vote. Only some officers are prevented from voting,” Murad said. he acknowledged that there are candidates “coming to Darapanan to talk to our people” but did not name them. But he reiterated that the MILF’s policy on the elections has not changed. “The policy remains as is,” he said. When a reporter asked if it is true that the MILF would hold a “proclamation rally” in Shariff Aguak town on May 5, allegedly to announce the candidates they would sup-port, Murad replied there is

no such rally. “That is not true. There is no proclamation rally of the MILF because we are not participating in the elections. So there is no truth to the information that there will be a proclamation rally on May 5. We are not a party

to that. The MILF is not a party to that,” he said . Asked if there was an MILF activity in Shariff Aguak on May 5, Murad replied their provincial committee may have “but it is not related to the political exercise.” (C O. Arguillas/MindaNews)

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, — A Filipino company that provides renewable energy so-lutions for all types of property owners said that solar energy is still the best option to solve the so-called Mindanao power crisis. Solar energy is a solution to the power crisis in the southern Philippines and in the pursuit of a lasting and ultimately cheaper power sources in Min-danao, said Engr. Winston Lorenzana Mendoza, chief executive officer of Mendoza Solar, LLC. Mendoza Solar, LLC is an energy company registered in California and Nevada, USA. It provides renewable energy solutions for all types of property owners. Its Phil-ippine subsidiary, Lim Solar Philippines, is the biggest promoter in the country of the use of state-of-the-art portable fuel cell electric systems that address base energy needs, especially of remote areas. Lim Solar Philippines, which is also chaired by Mendoza, has an ongoing solar integration and development projects with Dela Salle University, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority and Camp Aguinaldo, among others. Another company under the Mendoza Group, the Lorenzana Energy International—a pro-

Pinoy solar integration, dev’t company has solution to power crisis

vider of global energy solu-tions—also has ongoing solar integration and development projects in Malaysia, hawaii, Guam, California and Nevada. “Solar energy as well as other renewable energy sources is very appropriate for Mindanao if we look at the long term and the impact of climate change, which exacerbates natural phenomenon such as typhoons and storms. For the last several years, Mindanao is now the favorite of natu-ral disasters, whose impacts were exacerbated by climate change-inducing fossil fuels. We can no longer afford to let Mindanao suffer. Solar energy is abundant in the island and it provides clean energy,” Mendoza stressed. Mendoza said that for Min-danao, Lim solar is willing to offer electric cooperatives very minimal prices for solar power as well as 100% financ-ing scheme for residential and small businesses. “For Mindanao, I will offer P7.47 per KWh to the electric coop and large megawatt level users and P8.50 to small users. I will also straight finance the residentials and small busi-nesses,” he said. Mendoza said he will be in Cag de Oro on May 3 for a “lunch and learn” session with decision-makers in Mindanao.

ready for marriage?

Show-bizz

“Alam ko na don na ang susunod. Ayaw ko ng magsayang ng oras,” Luis Manzano answered when asked if he’s ready to tie the knot any time soon now that he just turned 32. In an exclusive interview with Toni Gonzaga on The Buzz, the host/actor said that he’s open to the fact that he will be committing to family life in the near future now that he’s not getting any younger. On that note, Toni commented how fortunate Jen is to be in such a relationship. Luis replied, “But I’d rather say that she is the bigger blessing sa aming dalawa.”

Without a doubt, Luis has

already achieved so much in his professional endeavors. He is currently hosting three major TV programs on ABS-CBN: Minute to Win It, Pilipinas Got Talent, and Kapamilya Deal or No Deal. He also has a recurring role in the

hit teleserye Be Careful With My Heart. When asked if he expected such blessings in his career, he commented, “May idea ako kung ano ang gusto kong mangyari pero sabi ko nga everything falls into place in its perfect time. Di ko na-imagine na aabot ako sa ganito.” Moreover, Luis couldn’t help but be overwhelmed that he’s constantly being compared to his father Edu Manzano who is well-known for his hosting skills. “You know, just for you to say that [is] maybe one of the biggest compliments a man can ever receive,” he told Toni.

that kept him out of six games near the end of the regular season. Though Miami coach Erik Spoelstra has said Wade is getting better, he was hit hard severa l t imes dur ing Miami’s 104-91 victory in Game 3 on Thursday night.

The Heat can afford to use Wade sparingly. They need only one more victory to finish off the Bucks, and no team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a series in the NBA playoffs. nba.com

nio, "especially considering that he is allergic to unions and collective negotiation."Since 2012, Aquino removed the budgetary item for in-centives and other monetary benefits due under collective negotiation agreements, a move which greatly under-mines unions of government employees. In addition to the de-mand for salary and wage increases in lieu of these policies, Tinio also urges tax relief to enable work-ers and employees higher take-home pay. he is author of house Bill 5661 which aims to increase tax exempt bonuses to P60,000 (from P30,000). he also filed hB 6723 which would raise the basic personal exemption to P75,000 and P40,000 per dependent (from P50,000 to P25,000, respectively).

sage to the country’s work-ers, Villar said the Naciona-lista Party is committed to support the reform agenda of President Aquino to bring about good governance, an improved economy, more jobs and better services to the people, particularly the poor and the marginalized, in the next three years. “I believe the best Labor Day gift we can give our workers will be our com-mitment to pursue good governance which is a sure-fire formula to revitalize our economy and create the much needed jobs being clamored by our workers for a long time now,” Villar said. “Good governance will mean more investments and more investments will mean more jobs. That is what we intend to do in the next three years in our coalition partnership with President Aquino,” she added. Once elected into office, Villar said she will pursue her long-time advocacies of promoting livelihood opportunities through small and medium term business enterprises, provide the necessary climate that will bring out more jobs and better social services. To address the concerns affecting the over 12 mil-lion Filipino migrant work-ers abroad, Villar said she will pursue the enactment of her legislative measure mandating the creation of the Department of Overseas Filipino Workers. Villar said it was essential for the executive depart-ment to have a separate department for OFWs to centralize all services and functions of OFW-related government agencies or bureaus. Villar said a number of them were reported to be maltreated by abusive em-ployers and subjected to other forms of injustices.

dragged workers deeper into poverty, is getting clearer every day," said the progres-sive legislator. Tinio slammed in par-ticular Aquino's planned imposition nationwide of CALABARZON's Two-Tiered Wage System that would dump the minimum-wage system in favor of a "floor wage" and "produc-tivity incentives." "Aquino's 'floor wage' is more like a 'basement wage'--it is lower than the present minimum wage," Tinio explained. "It would spell greater exploitation for labor but, surely, higher profits for the capitalist." Tinio, who represents teaching and non-teaching education workers in the Lower house, also criticized Aquino's Performance-Based Incentive System for state workers. Aquino's pronouncements related to PBIS indicate that he wants to veer away from across-the-board salary increases and instead give Performance-Based Bo-nuses (PBB) to purport-edly enhance government services. Its implications include, however, a ban on new bonuses or any increase in existing ones. For Department of Educa-tion, this also means that the bonus of teachers and other personnel will depend on factors over which they have no control, like drop-out rates. "We also believe that PBB is designed to pave the way for the relaxation or total abolition of salary standardization for state workers, much like what Aquino has planned for the private sector," worried Ti-

The official further said that voting can still be done even if a precinct count op-tical scan (PCOS) machine bogs down. “The board of election in-spectors will just collect the election ballots and it will be feed to other working PCOS machines for the counting of votes,” he explained, adding damaged PCOS machines will be sent to their central office in Manila for safekeep-ing. “What I’m trying to say is that, all possible problems on the coming lections will be addressed and we have pre-pared plans for any nforeseen events,” Balisado said. But in a statement today, poll watchdog Kontra Daya pointed out that the final test-ing and sealing of the PCOS machines, which is scheduled week before election, will not include transmission. Kontra Daya said that with Comelec’s admission that it could no longer hold a source code review as re-quired by law, “no one really knows how the machines are programmed to count the votes, putting a serious question on the credibility of the elections.” “The source code review was instituted precisely to assure the political parties and the electorate that the software to be used in count-ing our votes is trustworthy,” the group said. Source code is the human-readable program that runs and controls the step-by-step process of the automated elections from receiving the allots to counting, consoli-

Famacion said that knowledge products derived from good practices and experiences from hu-man rights-based groups in water and insights from the participants in the forum will provide innovative strategies to ensure that the Big Challenges in Water. RD Famacion said that that challenges in water, such as: (1) corruption,

(2) climate change and disaster impacts, (3) con-flicts, (4) issues in culture and indigenous practices, (5) gender challenges, and (6) capacity-development challenges and water fi-nancing will be addressed properly through human rights-based interventions. The forum aims to share practices and knowledge products that can be ad-opted or replicated by the municipalities in imple-menting their water and sanitation programs, to know the challenges in local

water governance and how these can be addressed, and for the participants to identify practices and knowledge products that they can use or replicate in their localities. “The human Rights-Based approach in water governance is developed to help local government units, water-service pro-viders and communities to have access in safe wa-ter supply through water system infrastructures and the empowerment of com-munities to manage the

project”, said Fe Crisilla Banluta, Project Manager of DILG – Water System and Sanitation Unit (WSSU). Citizen-monitors orga-nized in the Municipality of Sibagat, Agusan del Sur called the I-Watch Team (IWAG), which stand for Integrity-Watch for Water Anti-Corruption Group shared their experience in the conduct of constant monitoring in the finance process to prevent corrup-tion in local water gover-nance. IWAG Board of Director

Salvador Subla presented IWAG’s best practices and their milestones in en-suring that water services are readily available to the community and is free from corruption. Water associa-tions in some invited LGUs wanted to replicate what the IWAG has been do-ing and said that they can have a local IWAG in their LGU so that the group will expand its organization and membership in some parts of the region.

Local water governance in Caraga strengthened

By FLORIAN FAITH P. bAyAWA Jr.DILG 13/PIA-Caraga

BUTUAN CITY, April 29 (PIA) -- Spearheaded by the Department of the Inte-rior and Local Government (DILG) – Caraga Regional Office and in partnership with the Center for Com-munity Journalism and Development (CCJD), a regional forum entitled: “Meeting the Challenges of the Big Cs in Water: A Learning Event on human Rights-Based Local Water and Sanitation Governance” was held at Samping Av-

it promotes unity, cama-raderie, vibrant healthy re-lationship among the media outfits, thus, setting aside network rivalries in pursuit of common interest to serve the public, Director Caga further said.

he is optimistic that this effort will serve well for the benefit of the community considering that in the pro-cess, access and utilization of information are equally shared to all networks.

Director Caga added, this is also part of PIA’s effort in connection with the conduct of “hatol ng Bayan 2013”, the election coverage of the Media ng Bayan, through the con-vergence of PIA, Philippine News Agency (PNA), Radio ng Bayan, and the People's Television Network.

This development came after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) depu-tized PIA and other media and communication organi-zations to conduct regular information campaign on the proper use of any me-dium of communication.

“We are making one

step forward in achieving the conduct of an honest, orderly, and peaceful elec-tion… A collective contri-bution of the government’s information arm and the media sector is made pos-sible through PIA-Caraga,” Director Caga further stated.

Section 33 of Comelec Resolution No. 9615 depu-tizes PIA, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), Philippine Associa-tion of Private Telephone Companies (PAPTELCO) and the Telecommunication Operators of the Philip-pine (TOP) to conduct, in coordination with the Education and Information Department, regular infor-mation campaign on the proper use of any medium of communication.

The Commission hereby deputizes local government units to prevent, remove, destroy, confiscate or tear down any prohibited pro-paganda materials without any partiality. (Robert E. Roperos/Media ng Bayan/arjay s. felicilda)

Deception...from page 6

have ruled fiefdoms all over the country to the misery of their constitu-ents still at it to pursue if not maintain their fortunes and authority. Is this not deception? On another issue also about megalomania… the brilliant chief com-missioner has announced as if he is above the law (which is probably true) that all rules and regulations on the AES law will be broken by the comelec. Similar to the president this guy feels he is above the law.

I can only imagine after the elections between the losers and the winners. Should anyone lose, the alternative or option left is to sue the comelec and most of all - snow white. A class suit is well under way after all in the Philippine no one loses an election they are always cheated. Two weeks to go and the charade can cease and the players be gone for good as will be the case for sure. Why hang around and torture yourself with seeming ingratitude by losers when they have pronounced who they wish the winners to be.

These expectations for sure cannot be directed to the comelec alone but to whom else––are there other constitutional bodies authorized to stage the elections other than the foreign supplier smartmatic? But wait there’s more... a group called dominion is the true owner of the election source code software and the comelec was duped by it’s outsource. Was this not a gross violation of the law?
